Yep...I'll be there to try and not destroy my new car (the green one has gone).
This one is not the five door green farm vehicle (remember Mr Rain..?). Its now a Blue MY2000 4 door car. I Banzai (I think this is becomming the Jap car Max Power...oh dear!) reckons that the 5 door handles better...I'll be trying to find out. (we already know the answer).
Cheers
Ian
So Mr Bird....Cossie or Lotus that is the question....what is the answer ?

Dear I Gratton,
How could I possibly forget my second slowest ever ride round Donno (first being awarded to Anders in Mr Squires 22B)
I will be there in the Cossie, as I want to make you all eat humble pie when an eleven year old car kicks Impreza butt!
Sunilp,
Please tell me the Porker's going on the track as well, 'cos the Cossie's hungry for some bacon to go with the sushi!
LOL
Mike
PS And yes I do know what a GT3 is...!

Subject to a lift from ChrisP (nudge, nudge, wink, wink....) , I plan to be there.
Just hope it's warmer than the last one!
Now just need to buy that digital camera by March - any recommendations in the £300 to £500 range?

I'll be going to watch as my cossie has been sold, Sob, Sob.
I might do something stupid before then however, like buy a 4.7 litre westfield V8.
I am seriously considering that for the track.
If still only in the sport, any chance of a run in a proper car mike?

Blow dog, try and give Pete a call on 01268 590085, i think you may have to send the cheque to LTR not Pete, the address is in the Events section, but speak to Pete first.

Can't wait - We'll see how well my Group N Discs, Pagid and Goodridge stand up to the punishment, but I can't help thinking that Proper Brakes (a La Brembo or AP) are the way to go.
Any rides to demonstrate their relative merits would be welcome.
Anyone know if there will be Subaru only sessions like last March, or are we adding to the fun by mixing it with these 'lesser vehicles'?
See ya - and at Cadwell!

Tony,
A word of advice mate, I also have the group N spec discs and pads, put on very nicely but that lovely old man at scoobys. Pete will second me on this, although they are much much much much more superior to the standard discs and pads of the impreza, they still need taking care of. When I was at Donnington last year, the pads and discs were heating up immensely, but then I was braking VERY late. I recommend 4-5 laps MAX before you pit in and wait 15-20 mins cool down before you go out. And be prepared to spend a lot on petrol. I went through £140.00 on the track alone. £200.00 in total for the day, and out of my own pocket too =(

Mike..... I think I might be able to make this one... though work schedule is somewhat busy over next few months.... If I do I'll bring my Peugeot 106 diesel - it needs a good thrash against some equal competition

I'll be there!
I'm going in my Skyline ( ) and it's the first time i've ever actually DRIVEN on the track (Santa Pod doesn't really count! ) Any experts who know the track really well and want to assist me round it? (from the passenger seat before you ask!)

I have just put new rubber all round and don't fancy wrecking them before Catalunya.
If it is pi----g down may consider using part worns from Tyres Northampton.
See You there.
